BEAST MODE BABY! Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Kelsay started improving at the end of last year. In the beginning though, he was as bad as you can get for a pro.
CSBill Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Surpised its Batten, I thought Carrington would be the next up . . . oh well, for Batten, its time to sieze the opportunity. Can you say "Wally Pipp" Chris Kelsey? Edited October 7, 2011 by CSBill
Thunderstealer Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 To bad for Kelsay, but with Vick running around I'd rather see Batten and Moats who are a little faster out there. Kelsay isn't fast enough to keep Vick contained. Vick's going to be running all over the place.
Webster Guy Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Why do people keep saying Batten is undersized for a 3-4 OLB? The dude is 6-4 240 plus. Any more weight and good luck in coverage or running down rb's (or vick) Im glad he's finally going to get some real gametime logged. Moats too. Bring on the young guns! Whats the worst that can happen, we give up 400 yards on defense..... Oh wait, we already do.....

Only then will they not be undersized

If you are going for height/weight comparisons it really is the height that gets harped on....and at 6-4 Batten is just fine
3rdand12 Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) This is a fanatastic opportunity! Unfortunately Mr Kelsay being injured has created it. But wow we will get to see alot of new stuff from Wannsmeister. We bring Carrington Batten Moats and who knows maybe bryan scott to play the spot. maybe davis moves over at times. I feel a little guilty and i wish Chris well but this is a chance for the youngsters to shine and its time for the Blitzes. oh and Morrison can play more too. sorry Kirk. and before any retorts about why we do not have alot of rotation at that side, is because you keep the money player..s on the field. Now we can loosen it up a little. Let the dawgs run i say! Go Bills! Edited October 7, 2011 by 3rdand12
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 According to Joe Buscaglia's twitter Batten was taking 1st team reps in place of Kelsay. looks like Batten is getting his first two sacks.
Pilsner Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Kelsay's improvement has very pleasantly shocked me. There needs to be a way for Batten and Carrington to get more playing time tho. They need to keep at it and earn it. Want to see Moats get more xp. Hated seeing Antonio Coleman go. Being frustrated about depth players not getting enough playing time is a good problem to have tho. Next years draft will be interesting seeing some of our fav depth players getting pushed out. Possibly a starter or two as well. I hope Kelsay is good to go but also want some good rotation to give the young guys needed xp.
Nanker Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 This > His sack/FF on Dalton (that ended up being reversed by the "tuck rule") was as good as it gets. He basically bent Dalton in half--looked like a Bruce Smith highlight. Hope he's okay. Kelsay plays much better with his hand on the ground. The Bills don't play a regular 3/4 D. It's more like a 3.5 D where half the time the OLB lines up as a DE. The Bills' 3.5 D (regression of the mean - towards the QB).
